"In the social media age, where reality takes a backseat to propaganda, the chances of organizing a campus 'quarantine' against Spencer are nil. The best we can hope for is that students and administrators take heed of the uproar-over-nothing in Gainesville—and take a cue from the woman who posed the 'you're all so ugly' question. There is a valid argument that the kind of pernicious evil Spencer represents needs to be confronted and 'answered' in some way when he comes to town. But the proper approach is not to inflate his importance; it's to treat him as the mere pimple he is."
Bob Moser at the New Republic criticizes how college students react to neo-Nazis.
